Reference manual for Apache Pig Latin

Question

Pig is a dataflow programming environment for processing very large files. Pig's language is called Pig Latin.

Does anyone know of a good reference manual for PigLatin? I'm looking for something that includes all the syntax and commands descriptions for the language. Unfortunately the wiki page in Pig wiki is broken.

do you actually mean http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pig_Latin or do you mean http://wiki.apache.org/pig/? — Colin Pickard, Dec 15 '08 at 15:34
I think the poster was talking about the Apache Pig Latin. Totally valid programming question. Please reopen it. — Tamas Czinege, Dec 15 '08 at 15:40
I edited the question to add a link to Apache Pig so that people aren't confused. — Robert S., Dec 15 '08 at 15:51
@akaDruid, thanks for doing some research to help this question. — Robert S., Dec 15 '08 at 15:54
Wiki works fine for me. http://wiki.apache.org/pig/FrontPage — Craig Stuntz, Dec 15 '08 at 15:55
@Out Into Space, I was curious to see if the syntax used real pig latin; something like "oreachfay Away enerategay tay + uway;" would have brightened my day :) — Colin Pickard, Dec 16 '08 at 14:02

The reference manual I work with is in the Wiki: Pig Latin Manual.

It contains all Pig Latin commands with their syntax and examples.
